Thank you for contacting the RBKC Planning department.
You can search, view and comment on applications using the Planning Applications Search on the council's website. The service is updated regularly, and key milestones and target dates are shown under "Proposal Details".
If you have submitted an application that is still within its statutory determination period, or an agreed extension of time, a progress update may not yet be available. If you need to speak to the planning officer dealing with your application, you can email them directly. Their contact details can be found in:
- your planning application acknowledgement letter
- any emails or letters about your application
For more information about planning applications, planning guidance, planning enforcement and other planning services, visit planning and building control.
Planning advice for your business or property is also available through our pre-application advice.
Is a neighbourhood plan right for you?
Is a neighbourhood plan right for you?
A neighbourhood plan is an effective way of getting involved in how your local area is developed. But it’s a big commitment and there’s a lot of work involved.
Before you start
Once you’ve submitted your plan, the Council will assess it along with other planning applications in your area. Before you start, think about your aims and ambitions. Make sure your plan has a clear purpose and can be delivered through planning policy.
Consulting your community
Neighbourhood plans affect everyone living and working locally. You need to consult people and businesses so that everyone can have their say - in the same way the Council consults on policy and development plans.
Publicising, consulting and gathering feedback can be time consuming and resource intensive so be realistic about what you might be undertaking.
Other ways to get involved
Neighbourhood plans are optional so don’t feel your area will miss out if it doesn’t have one. There are other ways to get involved and make a difference in your area such as:
- City Living Local Life
- Conservation area appraisals
